Mid-Summer Walk at Wah Sash Kah Moqua Preserve, Bay County
Join Saginaw Basin Land Conservancy's Director of Land Protection Trevor Edmonds for a walk and talk at Wah Sash Kah Moqua, part of the SBLC's landscape-level Saginaw Bay Coastal Wildlands project. Acquired in 2011, the 123-acre Wah Sash Kah Moqua unit was actively farmed until a few years before it was owned and managed by the SBLC. The tile was cut and removed, then thousands of native trees and shrubs were planted to restore the property to a forested scrub/shrub wetland, a historically appropriate habitat for its close proximity to the Saginaw Bay shoreline. Edmonds will lead a hike on the land's figure-eight trail system and highlight flora and fauna along the way. If time permits, we may also visit the nearby Standish unit of Saginaw Bay Coastal Wildlands.
Meet and park at the Trailhead of Wah Sash Ka Moqua Preserve on Bay-Arenac Line Road. For directions: http://www.sblc-mi.org/wah-sash-kah-moqua-nature-preserve.html
